Dainese and AGV Extend Agreement for 2017 MotoAmerica Season

The partnership between Dainese USA Inc. and MotoAmerica has been extended and the Dainese group will, for the third year, remain the Official Safety Partner and Supporting Partner of the 2017 MotoAmerica Series. Dainese and AGV will continue to serve as members of the existing Safety Council with the objective of maximizing the rider safety and educating the moto enthusiast.

In 2017, support will continue in the paddock with all sponsored riders wearing Dainese’s D-Air technology, which has set the standards for the utmost protection for riders in the road-racing community through its structure. Thanks to an internal structure made of microfilaments, the bad deploys in a controlled width over its full length and wraps around the rider's body, covering the neck, collarbones, and shoulders.

In addition to the premium protection of D-Air, AGV's new Pista GP R will be worn on a number of racers inside the paddock.

“We have watched the MotoAmerica championship continue to grow, so it became increasingly necessary that we invest our attention and support to remain the Official Safety Partners of the series in 2017,” stated Roberto Sadowsky, Executive Vice President for Dainese and AGV in North America.

You can find Dainese and AGV pop-up temporary stores at three of the MotoAmerica rounds, including COTA in Austin, Texas (April 21-23); Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in central California (July 7-9); and Sonoma Raceway in northern California (August 11-13).

"We are very pleased to have Dainese and AGV back for a third year with their support of MotoAmerica," said MotoAmerica President and three-time 500cc World Champion Wayne Rainey. "Obviously, safety is important to us as a series and Dainese/AGV does a great job in keeping their riders safe with both leathers and helmets. It's great that they recognize what our series brings and we're happy that we can provide them with a way to show their innovative products to our fans. We look forward to having them activate this year with Dainese/AGV stores at three of our races."
